Is it farewell for Harry?
Indeed, nothing can be more sorrowful than saying goodbye to a true friend that for some time has given you something to look forward to. Such shrill emotion may have been the feeling of every Potter reader out there especially those who have grown with Harry in the seventeen year-conception of the seven-volumed series. Rowling had finally drawn a period over Harry last July 21 with the release of the most anticipated book in history, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Through sentences weaved with subtlety and exuberantly painted character personalities, the Deathly Hallows moved the reading public to a heart-hitting story drawing away from the convention pictured in the first six books. In this last installment, Hogwarts has become a battleground for archenemies Harry and Voldemort, though Harry really did a little in the fall of the dark lord. As Dumbledore puts it, Voldemort has met his fall due to his hasty and uncritical decisions. We have seen action and adventure all througout the last volume and indeed, little misunderstandings on the Ron-Harry-Hermione league may have caused their defeat, but luckily, friendship triumphed above all later in the novel.
Anger and the thirst for vengeance overpowered in The Hallows though with some essence of fright, despair and a little bit of humor - ingredients that well proved the author's greatness. Angst is one thing, death is more at a certain degree. But no matter how poor Dobby risked his life as well as other characters on Harry's side battled against evil, still, words of wisdom from Prof. Albus unmasked a profound understanding not only to Harry but to his readers as well. Nonetheless, Rowling opened a whole lot of light on the life of the then thought perfect and saintly Hogwarts headmaster as she moved Snape away from the bad light through stunningly and intricately laden revelation in chapters dedicated to them. Surely, surprises await anticipating readers.
Rowling may have been beffudled by the public's sudden fanatism to her books, but she can't deny that she had created a generation of Potter breeds who would assure the Potter series a spot in the hearts and minds of every generation of men. No, Harry hasn’t bid farewell yet. – nickyguinto
